There's a bunch of comedians on the DIS today. I've been laughing alot.

 

[ILMICKEY]

Can I just say that Lumar complained about the packet we got last weeks with our maps and stuff in it? You know how the stuff always says "Welcome ___________ Family" Well, it says MY last name, and not his last name so he's mad.

RING?????? Marriage????? Wouldn't that help? I'm just sayin'.

Sometimes I wonder if that would make things easier or more difficult....

Finally changed my ADR from Boatwrights over to Yak & Yeti for March 3. After reading Vandy's review (thanks Vandy!) of Y & Y I'm very excited! Plus we are eating at Boatwrights another day during the trip so we aren't missing out on that one!

How many days do I have left?? I can't see my couontdown board from here!

Ohh and a CM at the Disney Store last night made me SUPER excited for the P&PP! She is going in January and went once this year to it...she said it's fantastic! She even said she likes it better than MNSSHP!!

Hmm...Yak and Yeti.......does this warrant an ADR change on my part?

 

[ILMICKEY]

I'm getting excited for you! Yak and Yedi are taking reservations now? Are you going to dress up as a princess or a pirate?

 

[Simba22]

I'm hoping that it's worth it! Boatwrights gets nothing but fantastic reviews and since Yak & yeti is new I was a little nervous...but Erica said it was a good meal so I'm going for it! Although with the ADR mess that you call an "itinerary" maybe you should just skip it for now....

Yep they started taking ADR's on Dec 3.

If I dress as a Pirate can I make Lumar walk the plank??? OMG he would kill me if he ever saw all the junk I talk about him on this board!!

You can always bring a smile to my face.....thanks.

Just say it's therapy if he ever finds out.

Merry Christmas!!!!

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a good holiday!

Christmas was very hectic around here - as usual. I lost one of my sister's gifts and had to run out to the mall on Christmas Eve to replace it! I still have not found the lost one I searchd through 2 garbage bags and a garbage can, pulled everything out of my room and no luck. It was a gift card so I'm wondering if I stuck it in my coat or pants pocket and dropped it when Lumar and I went out...

Christmas was very nice overall, though. Lumar got me a really nice necklace...the pendant is heart shaped and has diamonds all around it. I got him a really nice surround sound system.

Of course, after stuffing my face yesterday with ham, ziti, salad, deviled eggs, dinner rolls, and christmas cookies...I'm not feeling so hot today My stomache is killing me!!!


In Disney news, we'll be paying off our trip this Friday when we get paid and as of today there are only 65 days left until we leave!

Sounds like a good Christmas overall...except for the lost gift card...

My stomach was a bit funky this morning too...but now I'm ready for LEFTOVERS........Round 2 pigfest coming right up.

 

[ILMICKEY]

Sounds like you had a nice Christmas. Woohoo, love diamonds. I got Diamond earrings and a diamond/sapphire tennis bracelet.

High Five Girl!!

I keep tossing dates around for my trip. I was going to go the first week in November but now I am hearing about this Jersey week thing. Know anything about it?? I dunno. It's weird when I checked a week ago it was 1300 for 2 adults at Pop, 8 nights 7 day park hoppers. Now it's 1500.

What up with that???

I've heard of Jersey Week but I have no idea what exactly it entails. And yes, the longer you wait to book, the more money you pay.

 

[Simba22]

Our trip is officially paid off! We made the final payment yesterday, and of course now I am going through OTPW (Obessesive Trip Planning Withdrawal) because I literally have NOTHING left to do until the week before we leave. That's when shopping and packing starts....but until then, I just have to sit around and do nothing.


Has anyone ever tried to use the Itinerary Scheduler on disneyworld.com? I loaded all of our plans into it the other day, and when I went back to it yesterday, it was all erased except for the first day which had everything wrong. I was thinking about going in and trying it again (and yes, the first time I did it, I did click "Save & Close")...my computer was runnning really slow that day so maybe that was the problem??

And I am still having problems with my personal computer (I'm using my work computer right now). For some reason, the monitor won't stay on! It will go on for a little while and everything will be fine and then it starts blinking and turns off. The only way to fix it is to mess with the plug but even that will fix it only for a few minutes and then it starts acting up again. I can't figure out if it's the plug or the monitor itself. Anyone have anything similiar happen to them?

So today is Sunday, Lumar is at work most of the day and I have a million things that I want to do. But quite frankly it's freezing outside and I don't feel like going anywhere. I have gift cards burning a hole in my pocket and I'm too lazy to go to the mall. How sad is that?

I've already started working towards my New Years Resolution! I want to lose 50lbs this year so for the last three days I have eatern only 3 meals a day, except last night we went to the movies and I got a medium sized ice cream, and no junk foord. Which is EXTREMELY hard for me because I am addicted to sugar and chocolate. And I'm not saying that to be funny, I'm dead serious. I could be starving and would turn down a great meal to have a bowl of Cocoa Pebbles instead. All I ever want to eat is sweet sutff: cereal, cookies, brownies, ice cream, etc. It's gotten really bad and my family has a history of diabetes so I really need to cut the crap (literally). Plus, I haven't done any excerise since my dog passed away in May...she was my walking buddy and since she's not here anymore I haven't had the motivation to get up and do anything. So wish me luck, I'm going to need it!

Oh and on a much lighter note, I bought another pair of crocs the other day! They are the ballet flat style (Prima) in black. If I really like them, I'm going to order more in different colors!

It's hard to give up bad food. I have a history of heart disease in my family and here i am eating french fries and a burger. I don't need to diet as much as I do need to just eat right and exercise.....

Go shopping. I had a blast spending other peoples' money. In fact, I may go again today.

That's pretty much exactly my problem. I just need to eat BETTER food instead of sweets all the time. I'm trying, but I have to admit, I have been in a really BAD mood the last week or so. The chocolate withdrawal is literally turning me into a monster! I may need to allow myself to have ONE chocolate item per day, and slowly ween myself off it, instead of just going cold turkey. Who would have thought I would have an easier time quitting smoking? One day I just decided I didn't want to do it anymore, and POOF! Done! I haven't had a cigarette since. That was 6 years ago. But this whole "quitting chocolate" thing is KILLING ME!

Sooo..... 58 days and counting!

Can I just say that I am totolly jealous of everyone who is in WDW right now (ahem, DinDin & Vandy...)

HEY!!

Sorry, I missed you here.....I didn't even realize you had started this .....not paying attention

And to think I was even being talked about while I was gone.....and I hope you had a good B-day b/c we were gone then too

Your trip is soon....it will be here before you know it!!

And good that you are going to Yak and Yeti....I did really enjoy that place

Hey thanks for jumping over! And thanks for the birthday wishes! It was a fun day...I spent it at a sports bar watching TB get creamed and Dallas whoop Detroit! It was a lot of fun! Not as much fun as you were having in WDW...what with the teacups and two double beds and all.... Thanks again for joining me! We are really excited to be going back!

 

[Simba22]

So lots of cool stuff happened between yesterday and today. Well, it's cool to me, at least.

#1) I'm no longer working from home - today was my official first day back at the office. I know, a lot of you are going to say "I would kill to work from home!" But let me tell you, it sucks. At least in my line of work. I was literally strapped to my desk (via a headset) all day, and I work for a call center so I HAVE to be on the phone...I can't just wander around doing household stuff. Plus, I'm here alone all day. So after being home since May, I decided I had enough. I was glad to be back at work with my friends

#2) I got my new computer monitor today, thankfully! Since I had to bring my work computer back to the office, if my new home PC monitor didn't come just in the knick of time, I wouldn't be able to come on the DIS!

#3) My new crocs came in yesterday! They are the Prima style and SO comfortable! I think I'm gonna get a couple more pairs in different colors!

#4) Our statement for our trip came today showing a ZERO balance! WOOHOO!!

55 more days!!!

Now if only I could get out of Jury Duty on Monday....
